In the Founder Institute's four-month, part-time program, promising startup entrepreneurs “learn by doing” and launch and build a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Plus, aspiring founders are not required to quit their day job to participate, so they can begin building a business around their ideas without putting their livelihood at risk.
OVH has been a long supporter of FI Montreal, including the Montreal Demo Day held in early 2018. You can watch a video covering the event below.
